Effort 2: To learn the Rounds' culture and science, and copy most of the social systems

Nousos thought, if they mastered the Rounds' culture, arts, science and technology,
and copy their social systems,
they would strengthen their nation and would never be regarded as barbarians.
Nousos were very realistic and open minded. However,
there was also a problem. To learn someone's knowledge includes learning its illusions too.
As Nousos tried to master knowledge of the Rounds too quickly,
they got prejudices/wrong knowledge of the Rounds and also tended to ignore Nousos' own superior knowledge and traditions.
